The meaning of AUTISM is a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically appears by age two, that is variable in expression but is usually diagnosed by persistent impairments in social interaction and communication and by stereotyped patterns of behavior, a
because most studies of individuals with ASD are based on small samples with limited numbers of females. An important question is whether there are sex differences in brain structures associated with the core phenotypes of the disorder: language, social communication, and repetitive and restricted beha...
Copy-number variants of theCYFIP1gene in humans have been linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ), two neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by defects in brain connectivity. Here, we show that CYFIP1 plays an important role in brain functional connectivity and callosal...

It is frequently cited in diverse fields and has been administered to adults of at least average intelligence with autism and to nonclinical controls, as well as to clinical control groups such as those with schizophrenia, prosopagnosia, anorexia, and depression. However, there has been no ...
Schizophrenia We performed a similar analysis on 4 meta-analyses investigating group-level differences between individuals with schizophrenia and controls. The constructs investigated were theory of mind, cognitive inhibition (Stroop task), and gray matter volume, abnormalities in all of which were found...
Although literature evidence suggests deficits in social and non-social cognition in patients with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ), the difference in neural correlates of the impairments between the two disorders has not been elucidated. We examined brain function in response ...
most previous studies have not investigated important factors that might explain the heterogeneity of ASD such as differences in risk between males and females, differences between subtypes, and relation of symptom severity to risk factors. Importantly, the definition of ASD is very broad and encompass...
